       English is the dominating language in the world, as of today currently. There are multiple versions of English such as American English, British English, Australian English, and Canadian English. Even though all these ‘English’s’ speak the same language, they all have different pronunciations and meanings through some different words.       English is being spoken of by more than 1 billion people, and more than half of the world's population, 4 billion, know how to say basic things in English such as saying greeting someone, ‘hi’ and ‘goodbye’. Linguist David Crystal, a theorist of the English language has said that English in the future may not even be the ‘dominating’ language being used around the world. The reason why he explains that in the future the United States may be the global superpower. Future global superpowers could be China, where we may be speaking Chinese, Saudi Arabia, where we may be speaking Arabic, ...

     The writers' purpose, Richard Branson, is to inform and educate the reader(s) on why being ‘happy’ is a great deal of success and what it can bring to the reader, and what it has accomplished for the writer himself.      The purpose is somewhat stated in the first paragraph as the writer begins with an introduction of how he wants ‘to help you’. Branson first describes how the reader is going through a ‘tough time’. By doing so this can rather engage the reader by furthermore questioning how Branson is going ‘to help’ and yet by also indicating how the writer mentions ‘you’, the reader, of being in a terrible tribulation. This can bring up imagery due to the fact that even though the reader(s) may not likely be in ‘a tough time’ they can imagine themselves throughout reading the letter.      Throughout the text, the writer changes shifts in using perspectives. The writer uses first person by using words such as “...

  4/19/22 Dear President of France,       As of lately, everyone has heard of what has happened to Notre Dame. The world is truly shocked and uneasy as to what is going on there. But as I’m writing to you I am truly appalled to as of what’s been going on in the Amazon Rainforest.      Within the first two days as Notre Dame has been on fire, the world, billionaires, and citizens have donated over a billion dollars in total for the damage that has been dealt with, which is more than what the building itself was worth. With all the fires that have been burning, the Amazon Rainforest has rarely been talked about on the news or by you.      With the extra money that has been donated to Notre Dame, I’m asking you to please help with the fire that’s been going on in the Amazon. This is our home, our only home that contains life as we know it. With the extra money, species will no longer decay, but rather thri...

       Raina is five years old which means that she’s in her post telegraphic stage. This means that during this stage children tend to become more demanding. Here Raina demands her mother to go in the direction that she herself wants to go by saying ‘i want to go this way’ and ‘can we go in this field’.  During this stage their mostly wanting to do their own ways or things that they want to do.      Another aspect would be when Raina uses the theory of LASS, Language Acquistion Support System. The scenario here would be when the mother is telling Raina to look up in the sky and letting her acknowledge of what a ‘blackbird’ looks like by saying ‘and look (.) theres a black bird’. This can enhance the knowledge of Raina of her remembering what the blackbird looks like by her mother teaching her that. To prove this would be that later on when Raina sees the blackbird she instantly asked her mother to ‘chase it’, meaning that she ...

     In text A the author, Edward Berens, is talking about writing about advice to young men upon going to Oxford. Berens talks about how a young man should have a type of ‘feeling’ and how they should have a strong interest and interest increasing by the separation. This text is written in 1832, meaning it is from Late Modern English.      In the first text, A, Berens is bringing up words such as ‘coxcomb’, when now today in Modern English we don’t use that word anymore, or is very outdated. According to Michael Halliday’s theory it states that language changes according to the need of the users or people. It is replaced by new words for social and technological developments. Here ‘coxcomb’ in Modern English means ‘a fool’. Here is a perfect example of how Halliday’s theory related to how words can be replaced by newer words as time goes on and how it is obsolete.       Another word in Berens writes in text A is...

Write a descriptive story, The Forest, about you exploring a forest with eerie occurrences. In your writing, create a sense of mystery and atmosphere. Write about 600-900 words.      It was a Sunday morning in North Carolina, the bright-yellowed sun striking my eyes through the windows of my dark bedroom, as I hardly tried to wake up. It was a very exciting day because I get to go to New York with my friends: Jake, Alyssa, Noah, and Michael, to move to our new apartment that we were all going to share while attending NYU. It was all our first year, not knowing what to do. I got out of my bedroom and started to get ready because my friends were picking me up in fifteen minutes; I ate an avocado toast as fast as I could and within finishing it, BEEP BEEP , my ride was here.      I suddenly grabbed my suitcases and headed out the door and put it in the back of Noah’s black Jeep. We were all so excited, the songs blasting and the wind blowin...
